two strips of different metals,(say zinc and iron) put them in an electrolyte(iron chloride) and hey presto you have a cell, link a few up an you have a battery.

It's not incredibly difficult to aquire.

Search around, I'm sure some store near you may have some.

kay i think im gonna do a buncha papatoes to power a hair dryer fan, how many volts is one tater lol? i know a 9V can power the fan but how many amps do i need?

About 100 of them for the voltage, more if you want enough amps to power a hair dryer. I'd suggest a light bulb or an LED.
